Yes SonnyBlackstein, when Ben just got made as a soldier in the Colombo crime family, the story goes he was using the Gambino name to shakedown some shops for 50 to 60 dollars a week, and those shops got in contact with a Gambino Member who took the money anyway and told the shop keepers that they were now protected by Mulberry. It cost the Colombo family 200 to 300 a week and this was in the seventies. Another story was in the late eighties The claw was in a sitdown and sided against the Colombo family in favor of the Lucchese associate in a truck high jacking score, but by the end of the third Colombo war, Carmine did not have much to work with in terms of quality, and The Claw was promoted to acting Capo soon after.
